For those that don't know, SUSE is behind the OpenSUSE Linux distribution afaik. This would have large implications.

A Reuters article on this too https://www.reuters.com/business/eqt-eyes-potential-6-billion-sale-linux-pioneer-suse-sources-say-2026-03-09/

The wrinkle for SUSE is that a sale to US owners would complicate its narrative considerably: American corporations can be compelled under the US CLOUD Act to hand over customer data held on servers located anywhere in the world.

I would call that more than "complicate"...
